Te Tauti (Porcupine) fish helmet https://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/object/267666

This is a warrior's helmet, made from the dried skin of a porcupine fish (Diodon sp., probably Diodon hystrix), lined with plaited pandanus strips. The skin is oriented so that the tail forms a peak at the back and the two fins form wings on either side. The lining has been partly plaited to fit, like a rounded basket, but then cut and overlapped in three places so that it fits snugly. The base is edged with a roll of plant fibre which has been neatly sewn to the edge of the skin with a blanket stitch in fine twisted cord of light and dark fibres.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Can you sleep with your eyes open? Fish can! In fact, most fish can’t close their eyes at all, as they don’t have eyelids. The only bony fish that can close its eyes are the puffer fish!

Peixe balão

The long-finned balloonfish is a solitary animal that inhabits shallow waters, in the bottoms of algae and corals. It has black spots, the mouth in the form of a beak and thorns that rest throughout the body, except in the fins. When it is disturbed, it swallows an enormous amount of air or water, the body swells and the thorns rise. It thus forms a brave armor that protects it against predators. It feeds at night and rests during the day.

This species has a very wide distribution area. In addition, by being able to inflate the body covered with spines prevents it from becoming an easy target for predation. It is often confused with the balloon-fish (Diodon hystrix), however, it is distinguished from him by the absence of spots on the fins.
